So, after the exiting news this is in preview for shared pools as well, we went ahead and started to try it out in our Office shared pool. And it works a treat! Are there any plans for introducing this feature in the Linux client as well during preview?

NOTE: desktops should start even with the Linux clients but the new status messages will be missing.
